Monocle
As 2006 draws to a close, I’ll just take a moment to mention and acknowledge a fairly major change of circumstances for me (one of many I could add, all good.) As of February 2007, I’ll be leaving the BBC and starting as Director of Web and Broadcast at Monocle. Here’s the concept, taken from […]
Starters for ten
I had to pull together a list of relevant cityofsound posts the other day, and subsequently thought it might make i) a useful introductory index for new readers, and ii) a cheap blog post. So below, some popular or defining posts at cityofsound. They all tend to gravitate towards recurring themes of cities, architecture, design, […]
South and North
A quick update. I’m just back from a blissful month in Australia, and having spent last weekend uploading the thousand or so photos to Flickr (Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Stradbroke Island) I’m now left with the challenge of facing down thousands of words in half-formed notes. Essentially, I found Australia enchanting indeed and hope to […]
Away…
… for a week or so, on long-overdue holiday, in Spain. Back soon.
Back to normal
With the caveat I noted before – that it will take a long time before life for those directly affected is back to normal – London is almost completely as it was before the bombs. There is little perceptible difference between pre-Thursday London and post-Thursday London, save the areas the bomb hit and a higher […]
London attack

In USA, briefly
Am doing another whirlwind tour of the US on business so postings will be even more sporadic than usual (!) [Am with Apple today in Cupertino, California; at Mozilla in Mountain View, CA this afternoon; up to Seattle tomorrow to see Real Networks on Tuesday, Microsoft on Wednesday; then over to NYC to see AOL […]
Normal service resumed shortly
Hopefully. You’ll notice the CSS has all gone screwy and nothing looks right (unless you’re viewing via RSS or sthg). Please bear with me while I try to sort the mess in terms of Domain Mapping from TypePad and Advanced DNS from Network Solutions. Sigh. It shouldn’t be this difficult at this point, should it?! […]
Fragment 9
Break in transmission
Apologies for the break in service yesterday/Friday. There may have been user error involved, but I prefer to blame Network Solutions – in trying to open a mailbox (to resurrect dan at cityofsound.com, which I’m not able to check at the mo) all the domain forwarding etc just disappeared, with little warning. I’m mystified by […]
